The owner does not want to sell this guitar (2009-12-31)Price paid : US $ 700

I purchased the guitar from a lady in Holland and had it shipped over to the UK.The guitar is in beautiful condition with only one or two lacquer cracks common with EKO guitars of this age.The guitar was built around 1969 and is completely original. The only part missing when I got the guitar was the spring for the Bigsby style trem.I have found it difficult to find a spring that works well.A Bigsby spring is not compatible with this particular unit.As you can see the guitar is a fantastic cherry red and is a joy to play.Its got a very light touch and the action is excellent.All manner of sounds can be coaxed from this instrument..from crystal clean to thrashy rock...its really very nice to play.It lacks a little sustain so I put it through a boss sustain pedal..sorted.I play it through a 1960's Watkins Clubman valve amp. This amp suits this guitar down to a tee...it sounds fantastic.
